Artist Michael Grab takes a bit of a different
approach to his craft. His work can be found in photographs, but if you
want to meet it in person, you will have to journey to Boulder Creek in
Colorado. Its amidst this fast moving water that Grab builds his stone
towers which, amazingly, are only held together with friction. Shirking
glue or internal supports, Grab creates his sculptures by painstakingly
balancing each rock upon the next. The results of his patience are often
staggering.

His project, which he calls Gravity Glue, is based around Grab’s view
that change is fundamental to our modern world. His art is meant to
decay, and meant to have only a specific time and place. Deceptively
simple, his cairns are perhaps meant to remind us of the amazing
powerful natural forces that govern the universe — and hold his art
together.
